[jQuery] $.post callback problem


i am trying to use data i am getting back from $.post but I am not
able to get the function with the data in it to work
$("a.rater").click(function(event)
    {
        $.post($(this).attr("href")),
            function(data)
            {
         update = data.split('|');
         $('#'update[0]).replaceWith(update[1]);
            };
        return false;
    }
);

$("a.rater").click(function(event)
    {
        $.post($(this).attr("href")),
            function(data)
            {
         alert(+data);
            };
        return false;
    }
);
